Album Notes

"Cellist/guitarist Luke Janela sings in a shivery, brooding voice that's bursting with hope and sadness, set against some electronics and creative songwriting techniques. Luke's thoughtful and pretty, emotive music is perfect for when you just wanna eliminate all the bullshit from your life and cut close to the core, or when you're feeling the weight of autumn on your chest. It's about finding the beauty in melancholy. JS" - Portland Mercury, 8.29 - 9.4.02


"It's hard to pin a label on Luke Janela. Folky, electronic, classical, artsy, tribal--pull one out of the hat, they're all in there. Mostly a solo act but sometimes performing with accompaniment, Janela's haunting cello tends to weave a common tone through a set list that traverses a dozen genres. Ultimately it all coalesces into a singular sound: the Luke Janela sound. Sad at times, sadder at others, Janela would be well at home on a Wim Wenders soundtrack. Hot tip: Guys, want to win points with the ladies? Take 'em to this one. (DE)" Willamette Week 9.10-9.17.02

"Janela's darkly passionate ballads are as effective as an Egon Schiele sketch" - Willamette Week: Northwest Music Fest Preview -John Graham

Put It On While Driving Or Going to Sleep.
author: Nick Thunder
I inserted this cd into my player one time while driving back from the Sierras. I wasn't expecting too much, but after I listened to the record my life was changed. Emotional, sad and sexy cellos with intense and honest vocals. All synched up to retro drum machine sounds. There was not a better soundtrack for the time as I looked out at all the beatuful scenery outside my window. I would say the style of music is folk with electronica influences. Open up a bottle of your best Cognac, build a fire, and stick it in.

powerful, moving melodies. A new light to the world of music
author: Zen Master B
This CD will enlighten your soul and bring your inner chi to new hights....But seriously, who would have thought that a cello, acoustic guitar, and a beat box could make so much magic. It comes highly recommended from this from this self acclaimed critic. Long live the haiku rocker!
